As many of you know, we are a family run business and we are so lucky to get to do what we love every day. Still, running a business can be busy and we appreciate the opportunity to take a break and get out of the weeds of work and school to just be with each other without the extra noise. In January, we stepped away from the day-to-day and took a trip to Vietnam. Not only did it provide us with the adventure and family time we were craving, it reminded us that Merino Wool is the best choice for travel—which made us love what we do even more!
Whether we were biking through rice fields, trying to find the bus that would take us to the next town, or reading bedtime stories in a hotel across the world, wearing Merino Wool was the always the right option.

Why we Love Merino Wool for Travel
So, why is Merino Wool so good for travel? Merino Wool is ideal for travel because it’s breathable, odour-resistant, temperature regulating, and can be worn multiple times without washing, making it the best fabric for personal comfort and packing light.
Breathable
Let's your body breath no matter the weather or humidity.
Odour Resistant
Unlike synthetics or even cottons, Merino Wool doesn't hold onto odour which makes it perfect for wearing over and over between washes.
Quick Dry
Want to spontaneously jump into water on a hike? Merino Wool underwear is everything you need. Also, great for longer trips where you need to sink wash and hang to dry.
Temperature Regulating
Keeps you comfortable on cool days and warm days!
Looks Great
Wear after wear, your Merino Wool will continue to be photo worthy. Pick the Merino Wool styles you love most and layer with travel friendly accessories. You can't go wrong.
Ideal Layering
From night to day, weather system to weather system, temperatures can change wildly when you're on the go. Merino Wool was made for layering—it's light weight, breathable, and temperature regulating.
Packs Light
Not only are Merino Wool thermal layers lightweight, they can also be worn again and again so you can pack less and leave extra space to bring home keepsakes.

Need a travel packing list?
Here's the wool we packed on our two week adventure to Vietnam.
For Me:
- Crew Dress: Perfect layering or worn on its own. Could dress it up if I wanted to.
- Oversized Long Sleeve: Perfect layering. Fit is flowy so nice when it was warm. (Currently out of stock but will be coming back in the Fall 2026!)
- Side Slit Lounge Top: Perfect for cool nights.
- Underwear and Bralette: All day everyday.
For Him:
- Men's Fit T-Shirts: For all the adventures. Wear them again and again.
Kids:
- Thermal Set: For sleeping and adventuring.
One more thing we love: while we didn't bring the new Neck Scarf on this trip, it's the ideal travel piece. Temperature regulating as a neck scarf (get it wet for extra cooling), use it to cover your hair in the rain or wind, tie the corners to make an impromptu bag, or lay it down for a mid-day picnic. The options are endless.
